111 years ago

NEW YORK Ã¢â‚¬â€œ April 20, 2011 Ã¢â‚¬â€œ The name Porsche has been associated with pioneering automotive engineering innovations since the beginning of the last century. In 1900 Prof. Ferdinand Porsche
unveiled his Lohner Porsche, an electric car with wheel-hub motors
driving the front wheels. Soon after, this car featured all-wheel drive
and four-wheel brakes, another world first. A highlight of his early
years as an automotive designer was the Lohner-Porsche Semper Vivus that
went down in history 111 years ago as the first functional hybrid car.
